what type of switch should i use for variable speed

I may have a variable speed fan, but I only run it at one speed, with a regular wall switch to an outlet.

I believe you would need a switch that works on a four way system. This one works on three way which means two switches. Might be tough to find except at a place that sells to contractors.

this switch is for 220 volt, 2 hot wires in and one ground. the switches work with a bunch of different models, be sure you are okay with PSi rating of this model.

Yes it is variable speed. And I have a 120 volt saw plugged into mine. It works fine with that. I would imagine that it would work with anything with a standard US plug. Best check with your particular machine first though.

Should have no problem. Its just a basic switch so anything should work with it

I believe this switch is rated at 1800 watts. As long as you fan is not drawing more than that, you should be fine to use it.

this is a three speed switch, my ceiling fan has three speeds,, I imagine if you didnt want a fourth speed and tied your wire off, you could use it. I am not an electrician nor can I say to do it, that is up to you,, I had two problems, one my switch stuck, the chain stuck, and two, my capacitor on the middle speed opened. so I only have two speeds currently on my ceiling fan. Of course all my wires are intact as it is a three speed switch, three speed ceiling fan. Hope that answered your question.

Switch has an 1800 watt maximum load recommendation. Should work as long as you do not exceed that.

Definitely variable. Think of the speeds as gearing. Within that gearing you can control how fast or slow based on pull of the trigger from min to max allowed by that gearing.

yes it does have variable speed and off/on switch. speed is controlled by a trigger .

This model is not variable speed but there are 2 speeds selectable via a switch on the top of the unit. It has High and Low speeds, 600rpm and 200rpm, respectively.

I'm using this switch with my SmartThings hub. With the switch itself you can select one of 3 speeds and with the SmartThings app I can use a slider to select the speed.

My husband bought this fan to use on our 4-wheeler to keep it cool while he was using it in the woods. However, he didn't put it on a switch so he doesn't know if it has variable speeds. He is very happy with the fan as it worked for his intended purpose. Sorry we couldn't be of more help.

I used a regular switch. I'm not sure why they "require" their own switch product.

There's no spec on the switch over speed. From my experience, I would describe that there is a blink between the switch.

Not sure....I don't like using variable on fan motors...it tends to give them a short life span....the two speeds are adequate, however I always have it set to high speed.

Yes. It is just a momentary on off switch. It has no effect on the variable speed of the trolling motor.
